Summary

CVE-2023-33098 is a transient Denial of Service (DoS) vulnerability affecting Wi-Fi Protected Access (WPA) Implementations. When these implementations parse IEEE 802.11 Information Elements (IES), they may encounter IES packets with a longer length than expected. This misalignment can lead to a buffer overflow, causing a DoS condition. The vulnerability can potentially be exploited by an attacker within range of the affected network to cause intermittent disruptions. It is essential for organizations to apply patches as soon as they become available to mitigate this risk.
